‘Night’

“is project created at the end of summer 2014 in my house garden near two old ponds, during deep twilight. The dress & decorations are completely handmade. I like to use small (also handmade) capsules with colored fog which only burn for a few seconds and are very hard to control. I used an impulse light (huge Octobox) staying as contra light to give this mystic, fairy mood and I also used a few different reflectors in front. This self-made developed images and heroes of series unite a long-term cycle of the fairy tale experimental imaginations disclosing art style and my taste.”
